2. Gas station bathrooms. This is a missed money making opportunity. Don’t remote roadside gas station attendants know that travelers would gladly pay to use a clean bathroom? Double if they’re in the middle of potty training??

3. Bad diner food. Sometimes, those funky, out-of-the way diners are a pleasant surprise that offer good food and a nice respite from the sameness of fast food and freeways. Other times, they’re the site of your last meal.

6. Road remains. Sad but true, interstates are peppered with the carcasses of rodents and other unlucky animals. Fortunately, the kids won’t see these because they’ll have their faces buried in their mobile devices.

So start your engines and ease on down the road! Just make sure your detours aren’t dead ends.
